CD Projekt Red acknowledges drawing inspiration from Baldur's Gate 3 but will maintain its signature open-world approach for upcoming titles rather than adopting Larian Studios' gameplay framework. Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed the studio aims to enhance environmental interactivity while preserving the expansive design seen in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077, though specific innovations remain undisclosed.
The developer recognizes how Baldur's Gate 3 excelled through dynamic world responsiveness, with Nowakowski praising Larian's execution of player-environment interactions. The Witcher IV will incorporate these lessons while avoiding departure from established open-world conventions that defined previous CD Projekt releases.
Author Andrzej Sapkowski, whose novels form the series foundation, confirmed minimal current involvement with the studio despite maintaining positive relations following their 2019 agreement.
